Wil and bot may be a bit behind at the moment but each player in the game has another life left, so don’t count anybody out just yet. And since there’s been some questions about how the game is set up, here’s a brief explanation:

In Donkey Kong you get three lives at the start of the game and one extra life when the score reaches 7,000 (or 10,000 depending on the machine) so, in this case, each team gets four lives for a total of two “Jumpmen” each. Now that every player has played once, they each get one more shot to add to their team’s score. In essence, the pressure is now on. (Yes, like Donkey Kong.)

Ahhhh scorned flirt buddy your rage taste of Mt. Dewy goodness. Seriously bot you should know better then that. You don’t gloat till YOU’VE WON. Then you laugh and point as you dance of the bodies of your defeated.

Excellent work as ussual Jeff. Your art has really improved and become much more defined. So now that you’ve gotten there are we gonna see the comic five days a week?? (asks with crossed fingers)

You do realize that he has a “real” job and thus frequently stays up most of the night Mon and Thurs to get the strips finished, right? As a harem member and Jeff protector, I’ve gotta say “Are you nuts?” We don’t want to kill poor Jeff, although I do admit it would be pretty sweet to get strips 5 days a week. It’s totally not worth it.

and i appreciate you wanting to see more strips but as shanna and Pixie mentioned, with my work schedule, it’s just not possible at the moment. i’m getting faster at putting the strips together, though, so a three-strips-a-week schedule isn’t out of the question this year, but even that would have dire consequences on my sleep pool. something to strive for, though!

Heh. I may be neutral to Pinky… but right now I like her. Splashing anyone’s face with bitter soda drinks is a lot of fun. Specially when the burning of the eyes begin. Oh, yeah. Good times.

Bwuahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

After all the negative rewiews I had small expectations but I was very pleasantly surprised! Sure the fact that they obviously count with a sequel is taking the plot down a notch but they still did better than most other scriptwriters with that mentality. And thats it for plot, I wont spoil.

I just object to idiocy of some of the people in our country that make you wear the 3D glases troughout the whole movie. Helloooo? Poor people that were watching it with me didnt know that you are only supposed to use those glasses on the grid. On the positive note they didnt dub it so I got to hear the original voices. And music ROCKS!

i’m so torn on T:L, Maryz! i’m thinking of blogging a review of it just to get some thoughts worked out on (digital) paper. i did enjoy a lot of what it had to offer, and in some ways i’m not sure i could ever be satisfied since i love the original so much, but i just feel like they threw away so much potential and got a lot of fundamental things wrong about the TRON universe. but yes, the music does indeed ROCK (a good percentage of my unpacking/organizing my new apartment was done to the T:L soundtrack)!

did your showing really only bust out the 3D when on the grid? i saw it in IMAX 3D and you definitely needed to be wearing the glasses the entire time. it didn’t utilize the 3D much until Sam got zapped but you needed to have the glasses on throughout the movie, otherwise the image was all blurry.

Let us not forget that it has NEVER been wise for a boy/man to try and rub something into a girl’s/woman’s face. Especially when said girl/woman has something in her hands, such as a drink or metal object.

Yea Jefbot, gloating before the end is not cool. It’s no wonder you got a soda to the face. But hey, he’s only human. We all gloat sometimes. 😀 Team WheatZee better back that with some serious points this round, of Team Pinky’s gloating is going to be unbearable!

Nice artwork. I, too, love the action shot of the cup. And the drowned rat Jefbot. Poor guy is gonna be all sticky for the second round. That sucks.

We missed you at dinner with Auntie Cynthia and Auntie Amy last night, but everyone understood your absence. Ya gotta get Jefbot strip done and you’re always incredibly busy anyway. Auntie Cyn was saying she doesn’t understand these video game strips(and some of your Tweets-She’s been reading them!). I told her that it’s funny because it seems like everyone else reading the strip does. I think she’ll get this one – Sploosh!

if jefbot hadn’t gotten in her face and gloated so hard before she threw the soda, or if she had done that while he was playing, it totally would’ve been grounds for disqualification, Eddie. but as it stands, cel (the referee, basically) understood Pinky’s behavior and is giving her a pass. looks like bot and Wheaton won’t be getting a free pass for the win, tho. 🙂

and i remember you and/or Maryz talking about not being able to find Dune waaaaaay back – glad you finally found it!!! such a great novel. that’s one of the great things about books going digital with the Kindle, iPad, Nook, etc. – basically, books won’t go out of print and they’ll be available to a wider audience.

I still love the smell of fresh print, the grain of the paper under my fingers, those bulky juicy fat books, hundreds of pages filled with marvelous story. If books will ever go only digital I would shed a tear that day.

Just says why you don’t sass someone with a drink that doesn’t know how to play video games. Just think what would have happened if her aim were as bad as her common sense, she might have damaged the game. 🙁

I am now taking donations for the “Bribe Cel and The Harem to flash everyone” foundation. Anyone that wishes to donate money or other forms of bribery let me know.

You? Lovable?

HA! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Perhaps in your dreams. Only cats are lovable and I already got plenty of those to take care of my cravings.

You’re SO asking for it.

*grabs lawn chair, assorted snacks, and video camera and sets up on top of nearby hill behind protective barriers* What? If you’re gonna incur the wrath of every female here, I’m at least gonna film it for future reference.

Not quite EVERY female here, but most. And yes, I am good reference material on “How Not to Act if You Want to Live”. Though if i thought one of them lived within driving distance of me, I would be a bit more careful.

*roll eyes of doom*
Any type of flashing will incur in the use of the evil flamethrower of doom. The only good flash is one that is extra burnt and crispy.
Flash at your own risk.

If my eyes don’t decieve me, that was Mountain Dew. PINKY’S GOING FOR A SUGAR RUSH!! It actually is really effective. I was high as a kite on something sugary when I hit over 6 mil on pinball on the computer.

I’ve often heard that Mountain Dew’s hyper-rush comes from it being the highest in caffeine of any soda pop; but that may just be urban legend, like the one about Dr Pepper being carbonated prune juice. 🙂

i’m not sure what Dr. Pepper’s made from, Kim and Anime fan, but i can tell you, the kind with natural sugar (as opposed to corn syrup) totally tasted like prune juice to me! much prefer the “regular” version.

you may be right, Anime fan – i seem to do better at videogames when i’m on some sort of rush, whether it be from sugar or caffeine. always wanted to do a more scientific study on this as my conclusions are more anecdotal than anything.

i’m familiar with Tim Buckley’s webcomic, TiNtWYLF, but “Scott” doesn’t ring a bell. which character is that?

and we’ll be coming back to Musashi’s story this year, most definitely, but it’s going to be one of the biggest stories i’ve done (and one of the most fictional), so it’s going to take a while to get there. i’m shooting for the summer months, so hang on! 😀

Wow, you really did post early! I should’ve stayed up just a bit longer, but I was SO exhausted; and anyway, I would’ve felt guilty about insider trading, I mean insider firsting. 😉

Panel 2: I really love seeing a frisky jefbot drawn in profile; he looks so cute! I also love when you use such old-fashioned expressions as “How you like them apples!?” (or at least, so it must seem to Pinky, even though ‘bot did suppress the customary “do” to make it more street, hehe).

Panel 4: Great understated remark by Wil… exactly what I would’ve said, if I do say so myself.

So now that Pinky has thrown a drink, can’t cel kick her out for violating the dreaded “no horseplay” rule that every arcade seems to have?

cel might be justified throwing Pinky out, but jefbot was kind of asking for it, so she’s going to let it go. she’ll be keeping an eye on jefbot and Pinky in the future, though. (actually, when i say “the future” i’m actually saying “the next strip.”)

was wondering if anybody would mention jefbot’s exclamation, Kim! it’s kind of a derivative of “BooYah!” but in bot’s videogame-riddled brain, it comes out “PooYan!” in reference to the classic ’80s game, Pooyan. 😀

wanted to see Tangled when it was at the Disney theater near me (the El Capitan.) now TRON: Legacy is there, so i might just have to find it at a local multiplex or wait for Blu-ray. glad to hear you recommending it.

We want to distract not scar the Brat child hose bag for life DorkKing. See if she scarred for life she won’t come back to spend more quarters at Cels arcade ever. If she mad it just a bit. Gotta think these things through. Geesh.

ha! yes, but seeing how Pinky’s underage and all (not to mention many of the kids watching the goings-on), the authorities would probably have to get involved. Wil and bot getting carted away by the police would be a twist ending no one saw coming, though! 😀

been a while since i’ve seen the movie, Bl4ckw0lf. how did that scene end? Matt Damon’s character got the girl’s number, right? then said the “apples” line to her would-be suitor. but i can’t remember what happened next.

The line he referring too is actually in Jay and Silent Bob strike back. “How do like them apples?” Comes from dude that Will humiliates in diner. Then Matt Damons charter says applesauce and pulls out a shotgun and shoots dude.
